Selecting the Spanning Tree Enabled menu allows you to enable or disable the spanning tree flag. If this
flag is enabled (because the network the system is being attached to supports spanning trees), the
firmware will impose a waiting period of 60 seconds before the adapter is allowed to communicate with the
network. If this flag is disabled, the network adapter will be able to access the network immediately after
the system is connected.

Select the ping test option from the network parameters menu to test an adapter’s network connection to
a remote system. After the ping test option is selected, the same series of screens will take you through
setting up the IP parameters and the adapter configuration before attempting the ping test.
Notes:
1. After the ping test is initiated, it may take 60 seconds or longer to return a result.
2. If the ping test passes or fails, the firmware will stop and wait for a key to be pressed before
continuing.
